Oak Island is about a 50 minute drive to our Oleander Drive office via NC-133 and the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge.
Oak Island is largely a retirement and second-home community, and both groups tend to postpone dental work. Retirees put off a big case because of cost or nerves; second-home owners because they are only here part of the year. The result is that Oak Island patients often arrive with a problem that has been building for a while.
That is not a lecture, it is just the pattern, and it shapes how Dr. Pan approaches these cases. Plans get phased so the urgent work happens first and the rest is spread out, and you get an honest read on what will happen if a given piece waits another year.
We regularly see patients from Long Beach, Yaupon Beach, the Point, and Tranquil Harbour, and from across the area around the Oak Island Lighthouse, Ocean Crest Pier.
Schedule a Consultation
Implant-supported dentures are dentures that attach to a few dental implants for added stability and comfort. Instead of resting loosely on the gums, they "snap" onto implants to help keep them secure.
They are removable for cleaning, but stay firmly in place while you wear them — making them much more stable than traditional dentures.
We evaluate your smile, place a small number of implants, and create a custom denture that securely attaches to them. After healing, your final denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort.
We examine your oral health, review your goals, and determine if implant-supported dentures are right for you.
A few dental implants are placed to support your denture, and we design your custom restoration.
Once healed, your denture is attached to the implants and adjusted for a secure, comfortable fit.
You leave with a more stable, confident smile that allows you to eat and speak with greater ease.
We design implant-supported dentures with a focus on comfort, fit, and function. Every case is carefully planned to help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Given the drive, appointments are scheduled to accomplish as much per visit as the clinical sequence allows. Ask about phasing at the consultation if cost or timing is a concern.
